Benjamin Richard Leadsom is the current CEO of quantitative research firm G-Research and husband of conservative party MP Andrea Leadsom.
Leadsom was formerly a banker at Barclays[1], but has been a director of Island Research[2] (the limited liability partnership of which G-Research is a component) since 2009. In 2019, Island Research made an operating profit of £56m on turnover of £289m according to its most recently filed accounts. Last year, 15 partners at Island Research shared £44m in profits between them. However, two of those partners were corporate entities - one of which is likely to have received the highest partner allocation of £26m, suggesting the average individual partner payout was closer to £1.3m.[3]
Ben Leadsom is also the joint director and secretary for the company Bandal Limited[4], which operates as a buy-to-let organization. Bandal Limited is worth an estimated £5.5m and is run as a joint effort between Ben Leadsom and his children.[5]
Ben has strong connections with businessman Peter de Putron, who is the brother-in-law of his wife Andrea Leadsom[6]. It has been reported that a subsidiary of G-Research provided multiple large donations to the conservative party during the course of Andrea Leadsom's career as a politician.[7]
Charity Work[edit]
Ben is also a trustee and chair of the Northampton based charity "Hope" which aims to improve the lives of those affected by poverty.[8]
